So a 'little bit' of bad news especially to those specifically using Deepseek v3 0324 free via openrouter, the limits have just been adjusted from 200 -> 50 requests per day. Guess you'd have to create at least four accounts to even mimic that of having the 200 requests per day limit from before.

EDIT: All free models (even non deepseek ones) are subject to the 50 requests per day limit. And for further clarification, say even if you have say $5 on your account and can access paid models, you'd still be restricted to 50 requests per day (haven't really tested it out but based on the documentation, we need at least $10 so we can have access to higher request limits)

I don't even know what a proxy is, how do I use it? I was reading comments and yes you can use other proxies, or IA, whatever... One of them talked about OpenRouter and Hermes ai LOLLL

I don't know how to use it (OpenRouter) or well, incorporate it to Janitor Ai. someone explain me from 0 😭?

i'll try to be fast and precise, first of all. create an Openrouter account, then go to KEYS and CREATE AN API KEY.

MAKE SURE TO COPY THAT KEY BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE ONLY TIME YOU WILL SEE IT ONCE YOU CREATE IT. Usually it starts whit sk-or...

Good, now get back to janitor.ai, go to the proxy setting and write like this.

Model ---> deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3:free

URL ---> https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions

API KEY ---> YOUR API KEY

check if everythings good and you should be good to go!

TDLR: Chutes will be throttling Openrouter's free tier (including those that paid $10) and prioritizing paying users from Chute. This is why there's been a number of errors lately for those not in the loop! This doesn't mean you can't use it, it'll just be slower.

Haven't seen anyone post an update about this on Reddit and wanted to share.
